nohz: Fix spurious warning when hrtimer and clockevent get out of sync
The sanity check ensuring that the tick expiry cache (ts->next_tick)
is actually in sync with the hardware clock (dev->next_event) makes the
wrong assumption that the clock can't be programmed later than the
hrtimer deadline.
In fact the clock hardware can be programmed later on some conditions
such as:
* The hrtimer deadline is already in the past.
* The hrtimer deadline is earlier than the minimum delay supported
by the hardware.
Such conditions can be met when we program the tick, for example if the
last jiffies update hasn't been seen by the current CPU yet, we may
program the hrtimer to a deadline that is earlier than ktime_get()
because last_jiffies_update is our timestamp base to compute the next
tick.
As a result, we can randomly observe such warning:
WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 0 at kernel/time/tick-sched.c:794 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick kernel/time/tick-sched.c:791 [inline]
Call Trace:
tick_nohz_irq_exit
tick_irq_exit
irq_exit
exiting_irq
smp_call_function_interrupt
smp_call_function_single_interrupt
call_function_single_interrupt
Therefore, let's rather make sure that the tick expiry cache is sync'ed
with the tick hrtimer deadline, against which it is not supposed to
drift away. The clock hardware instead has its own will and can't be
used as a reliable comparison point.
